The Perfect Valentine’s Day Outfit for Any Occasion

Valentine’s Day may have been invented by Hallmark way back when, but hey, I’ll take any excuse I can to dress up. Er, to celebrate my loved ones, I mean! Whether you’re planning on getting drinks with friends, going out for a fancy dinner, staying in to make dinner for two or having an impromptu snowball fight, these are some of our favorite Valentine’s Day outfit options!

She’s So Metal

I love this Valentine’s Day outfit for a night out with your besties. The metallic trend takes a turn for the romantic when paired with a fuchsia lace blouse. Add an extra pop with hoop earrings and a beaded clutch, then complete your look with tights and slides. Bonus: you’ll definitely want to re-wear this metallic origami skirt all year long.

Velveteen Valentine’s Day Outfit

You don’t have to stick to pink and red for a romantic Valentine’s Day outfit. This frilly velvet midi skirt paired with a cropped silk accordion blouse and pearl-embellished loafers is perfect for staying in and cooking a romantic dinner for two.

Paint the Town Pink

Sometimes, you just want a good excuse to dress to the nines for a fancy five-course dinner, champagne, dancing – the whole works. When you’re heading out to paint the town red (or pink!), this off-the-shoulder wiggle dress will definitely do the trick! Finish off with a jewel-tone statement necklace, classic pointed-toe heels and a vintage coat.

On the Mauve

Heading straight from the office out to see your Valentine? This is the perfect day-to-night Valentine’s Day outfit! Start with a modern take on a pencil skirt – I love the lace-up detail on this Rachel Roy number – then add a romantic touch with a lacy mauve blouse and heeled booties.

Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

There’s nothing more romantic than sipping hot chocolate after an impromptu snowball fight, so make the best of that late-winter blizzard by cozying up in your snow bunny best and heading out for a date to build a snowman. Start with your favorite jeans, an oversized sweater and moto-style boots, then add on earmuffs and mittens. Oh, and don’t forget the carrot, top hat and scarf for Frosty!
